Falcon Keystrokes vs BMS Keystrokes
-
Read Kolbe’s Falcon BMS Keyfile Manual In the BMS joystick/generic folder. You will be bilingual in no time. That’s how I figured it out. Its really pretty simple once you get it.
And this
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?153-DirectX-Shifting-FacilityI agree. Takes a little work to learn the language, but once you get what’s going on it’s pretty easy.
I also recommend doing as much DX as possible …. avoid using the Saitek ‘keyboard emulation’ software where ever possible. Kolbe has a spreads sheet in the same location noted above to simplify assigning DX commands to the X52 for use in a keyfile.
Edit:
You may also find the HOTAS mappings on pages 26, 27 and 51, 52 of the dash1 useful … C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Docs\Falcon BMS Manuals\BMS-Dash1.pdf

Who is this guy Kolbe I wish to thank him for creating the DX Generator.
EDIT: Can anyone tell me where I can find all the callback commands.
-
I personally don’t know of a complete list.
Kolbe’s DX spreadsheet has a lot, but not all.
The Dash-1 might the most complete, but they’re not a ‘list’ so much as referenced for each system. There is no ‘index of callbacks’ as far as I know.
The best list might be the BMS.key and Keystrokes.key keyfiles. I know I referenced them often when I was building my DX commands for the X52 Pro.

I’ll try my luck there then. I’m missing the flaps up/down command.
Found it

What airplane are you flying in BMS? There’s no flaps up/down for F-16.

Same folder as keystroke generator.

He might be using the Alt Flaps switch on the FLCP in error.

I’m 100% sure when I was using Keystrokes.key I was able to move flaps up and down. Its been a while since I last played it so I might be wrong.

I don’t know what happens when you use the flaps up/down controls for generalized airplanes on the F-16. Maybe it works but this is not normal operation. There are a number of things you can do with callbacks in BMS that do not have a real life equivalent. To avoid avionics bugs or just to have an accurate simulation experience, you have to be careful which callbacks you use.

Well in the end I’ve settled for the profile from KesMonkey since it had pretty much all I need mapped in it. But I’m having a slight issue.
The overrides are mapped to Mode 1, 2 and 3. I don’t like that and would like to unbind them. The issue is I can’t since the binding is not done in the profile editor it self. I tried deleting the overrides commands from the key file but sadly it did nothing.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
